AND BRUEGEL DREAMT THE ANGELS ABOVEAS BOSCH DANCED IN EARTHLY DELIGHT

angels fall...into the canvasreaching for the lightheaven is empty...and all the beauty is here

UPON THIS BONE PALETTETHE SWAY OF NINE-TAILSLAYERED LASHINGS OF EUPHORIA AND CHAOSTRIPTYCHS UNFOLD LIKE WINGSAS THE ARMS OF OUR FATHERS BEAR THE WEIGHT OF WHAT THEY'VE DONEANTI-MATTER-MARTYRS

warmth of lifewhere they sing of firechildren's eyes... for they all shineas tears rise, oceans of flame billowwhen all dreams lose hope...

AND BRUEGEL WEPT FOR THE FADING SUNWHERE HAVE ALL THE ANGELS GONE?

angels fall...into the canvasreaching for the lightheaven is emptyas hell belowand hell belowpainted by ghosts

LORDS OF LIFELESS EYESIN THIS GARDEN OF WILTED FLOWERSVULTURES SPAKE THE MOTHER TONGUE...

[Movement 2: Cynosure]

hear the childrenbreathless sleepwhere they dream a new dayechoing...oh when they dreamebb and flow,... free fallingbeautiful and calm...and fragile, and wholewhere they dream a new daythrough the coil they course and carouselechoes,...hear the lost childrenhear the children singthrough the coil they carouselwithin this stained glass wombthey sing with open minds...

WITHIN THIS STAINED GLASS WOMBTHEY SEE WITH OPEN MINDSTHE EVENT HORIZON AND BEYOND
